-- Donating
Per FR's rules, you can't get tickets from donating. However, donating is the only way to unlock prizes for the raffle. See the prize list below for sneak peeks!

Not all charities will unlock prizes. To be sure you're donating to a qualifying charity, choose one from the Qualifying Charities list or @ me to check.

To unlock prizes from donating, please post a screenshot of your donation page. You must blur out personal information. Minimum donation is $2 USD - there are transaction costs associated with accepting donations, so a minimum donation amount helps prevent charities from losing money.


-- Freerice
Win tickets by playing Freerice. It is +1 ticket per 10 grains. Only grains won from the date of the raffle's start to the date of the raffle's end will count for this raffle.
Remember to disable Adblock on Freerice.
Please post screenshots in this thread for verification. A screenshot how-to is shown here.

Freerice is revamping and they're taking surveys on things to improve, here's one on groups! https://www.research.net/r/freericegroups
